Specifically Skrillex and Deadmau5

I pretty much listen to anything that isn't rap or opera.
In other words:

C418 (Ambient, IDM)
Pink Floyd (Rock)
Evan LE NY (Classical + Electronic)
Ilkae (Glitch, Chiptune, Electronic)
Skrillex (Electronic, Dubstep)
Pretty Lights (Electronic funk/soul)
Disasterpeace (Chiptune)
Lake Trout (Alternative Rock)
Wauterboi (Electronic)
Tim Halbert (Anything)
Goto80 (Chiptune)
SMILETRON (Chiptune)
Hamster Alliance (Anything)
Nine Inch Nails (Alternative Rock) (I only listen to the instrumental songs)
Stereo Wildlife (Ambient, IDM)

I recommend every single one of these artists to anyone and everyone.

Did I mention Jesse Cook?

He's an amazing guitarist from Montreal, he plays spanish-style.
If you haven't heard his work I urge you to at least give it a listen.

This will sound insane, but: I actually mostly only listen to video game/movie music. Especially Portal 2's music.

But, when i don't listen to that, there are the occasional trance, techno, and fusion songs. Also, one song from Celldweller, one song from UNKLE, and a few songs from NIN.

Deadmau5 ftw!

I listen to mostly techno/dubstep stuff too, I like daft punk and deadmau5 a lot. I only know a few skrillex songs but they're really good.

I listen to any music that doesn't have someone singing. My favorite music usually comes from retro video games because no one is singing. My all time favorite is Monster Ock, from Spiderman GBC (Game Boy Color). Monster Ock from Spiderman PS1 was alright but I could barely hear it in the level.

Anything that doesn't involve singing I can listen to. Not to say I like it. Most rock and screamo I do not like, but like everything in the world, there is always exeptions. (though I have not found one for screamo yet.)

Anyway what i've been listening to msot recently are these two songs:

yznZ_8EEKbs
(obviously an exeption to the singing rule)

gTw2YvutJRA
(also an exeption, though it's mostly music and not singing.)

Again, I don't have a specific favourite band or singer, as I just listen to music to enjoy it.

I typically listen to a lot of electronic music. Since I didn't really know where to start however, I found myself at first mainly listening to rave/party music, though now that I've explored more artists and genres, I'm edging towards more experimental styles.
I also listen to game soundtracks, though I'm not sure if I enjoy them purely for their sound or if it's just the familiarity I've gathered from hearing them so much. They range from orchestras to more synth-based music like the soundtrack to Portal.

Here's one song I thought I'd share anyway. It reminds me somewhat of the early, overgrown stages of Portal 2, with the sunlight and the background ambience, etc.

Here are a couple of Youtube videos that use some songs I wrote. They also have game sound fx but the BGMs are by me.

0YGcDdif3Is
Though the video and description don't include the song title, the song is called 'SnowBlind' and I wrote it for Interplay's official port of Descent to the Wii. The full song only plays through once, I had to cut out parts of the video which cut out parts of the song, but it does play through completely the first time (before it loops).

KR8xYP8Rg9w
The BGM here is 'Expector', a song that I wrote for a D2X-XL mission that's currently a work in progress (the levels in the mission are not by me, I just wrote the music). D2X-XL is the Descent 2 source port that I was playing on when I recorded these videos. If you search D2X-XL on youtube, its creator and maintainer has uploaded a lot of videos showing off all the cool features and enhancements. Some of those features are not shown in these videos because the two levels are from the original 1996/1997 campaigns, and they were recorded using demo playback (some features are unavailable in demo playback).
